Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I did some search on slackbuilds.org and packages.slackware.it but hardly to find any package meets the demand. The mozilla-firefox-3.0.1-i686-1 package contain usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/libnss3.so but could not reslove the problem. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance

Thanks Road_map, your post rocks~ But just as crashmeister said, There is no working Chromium-based browser on Linux. Chrome won't build on my box due to a v8 compile error... (src version 1754) Is Google truely Linux-friendly?

This is the very first public release of a BETA product. It isn't surprising that they have only targeted the largest userbase for the test so they can collect the most amount of feedback possible (while targeting only one platform for the sake of simplicity).

Once the codebase is refined, the OS X and Linux specific changes will be put in and official versions of Chrome for those platforms can be released. As it is, we can clearly see that their codebase was at least designed from the start to be portable and Unix-compatible; which is already more than a lot of other developers are willing to go. Google is investing heavily in Linux (I.E. Android) and they are certainly progressing with an eye towards multiplatform applications.
